Africa – Pharoah Sanders / John Hicks / Curtis Lundy / Idris Muhammed* – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

‘Africa’ finds saxophone visionary Pharoah Sanders joined by a dream team of John Hicks (piano), Curtis Lundy (bass), and Idris Muhammad (drums), crafting a profound statement at the crossroads of tradition and innovation. Recorded in 1987, this album radiates with the spiritual searching and deep groove that defined Sanders’ post-Coltrane explorations, yet it’s anchored by the lyrical mastery of Hicks and the telepathic interplay of Lundy and Muhammad. The title track pays homage to the continent’s musical legacy, weaving modal improvisation with rhythmic intensity, while the ensemble’s take on ‘Speak Low’ and ‘After the Rain’ reveals a rare sensitivity. ‘Africa’ is not merely an album, but a meditation—each note a celebration of jazz’s roots and its boundless possibilities. For collectors and new listeners alike, this is a masterclass in ensemble communication, where the boundaries between composition and improvisation dissolve. Owning this album means holding a slice of jazz history, imbued with the wisdom and passion of four giants whose chemistry is palpable in every moment.
